Ether 12: 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

I don't think so as long as you try and live your life by the 10 commandments. We all sin, of course, but I'd like to hear what others think about this one...serious answers only please.

Do you believe in abortion & why? I personally dont, I consider it murder. I hate hearing "well its not really a baby yet" ....uh yes it was, it is wasnt really a baby yet then you werent pregnant!!! I believe at least let the baby live and put it up for adoption, dont kill it before it has a chance at life. I know God doesnt approve of abortion, but setting God aside, It's morally wrong.
Thoughts anyone?

I'm going to a party thrown by a couple who takes Halloween very seriously, so I cannot disappoint. I guess I have a reputation in this crowd for always showing up without pants: I have been a gladiator, cupid in a "diaper", Tom Cruise in Risky Business (just shirt/underwear/socks). I don't think I'm Brad Pitt or anything, but I guess it struck a chord with people and I won their "sexiest costume" prize a few times. I showed up last year in pants and, to my surprise, the hostess was disappointed.

Can anyone please give ideas on other costumes that show off my legs? (However, in a masculine way- not looking to do cheerleader or drag.)

Thanks!

I'm just curious here.

Are you offended that we are considered mammals just because we've got mammory glands - one of the defining quality of mammals - or are you okay with it?

22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! (Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, New King James Version from biblegateway.com)

A lot of people try to get the story of creation into science classes by calling it "intelligent design" and claiming it has no basis in religion. I'm wondering, however, how you could separate it from religion. If there is some all powerful designer out there, wouldn't it have to be a deity just to have the power to design? So doesn't that place the "theory" firmly in the realm of religion? I suppose it could be a deity for which no specific religion has been created, but if we knew about said deity someone would make a religion about it. Whatever god you decide was the designer you still have to include a god in the "theory," so where is that distinction from religion?

And where was the science again?

Do you guys think this is possible/plausible?

As time passes, the debates become more intense. Politics,economics,education,communication,entertainment,and many more facets of human society become more and more entangled in the conflict. The number of people who have considered Secularism have increased substantially. The intensity of fanaticism have skyrocketed. The self-proclaimed "mainstreams" persecute unbelievers and minor beliefs alike, proclaiming that they are the "chosen ones", even though they have done more atrocities to mankind than a wig has strands of hair. Meanwhile, a SINGLE group, out of thousands of ideologies finally has the answer and the evidence to back it up; however, their words fall on deaf ears. Both the "Over"zealous fanatics and the "overly"doubtful sub-faction of the unbelievers don't even bother taking a look at this solution, due to their over jadedness towards other ideologies.

The seculars request a "peaceful" discussion with the "fanatics", but the pretentious leader of the fanatics, knowing that their wrong beliefs have no solid foundation, decline the request. This came to the Seculars as proof of the falseness of "all" belief systems. Interestingly, they didn't bother listening to what "the others" had to say, believing that "all" belief systems are similar and some of these beliefs are considered BY THE FANATICS(WHO BY THE WAY CONSIDER THEMSELVES AS THE TRUE ONES) AS JUST SECTS, SEPARATISTS & CULTS, eventhough NOT all of these beliefs are Truly branches but actually originated without the help of other groups. This led the Seculars to believe that "since the mainstream IS WRONG, then the others ARE ALSO wrong." As the grudges become heavier, assasssinations, arson, murder, discrimination, persecution, bombings and other crimes arise. Some groups have considered themselves superior humans and are are claiming to be near the next step in human evolution.

It finally broke into a full scale war. The Fanatics, believing that all nonbelievers must be cleansed,the Scientific Body(an organization composed of the "above humans" and the most violent members of the Secular side.) beliveing that it would be more favorable for all of the "homos" to have a single ideology which will make it more efficient for society to function let alone reduce conflict. Both factions will use all means possible to win.

Meanwhile the ones in the middle form an organization that wants to end this "Great Ideological War". Unlike the others, they listen "TO EVERY SINGLE OPINION, GREAT OR SMALL", thus they are not blinded by bias. They have learned their lessons through watching the other factions fight and slay each other. Fortunately, the group that found the truth AND the evidence have found a listening ear in this faction. They tought all they knew about the truth. Through this event, the neutrals realized that they must share this gift "THROUGH PEACEFUL MEANS ONLY." They tought the truth to the others, but alas, some have set their heart/mind on what they fight for while others just wasn't able to take it in. The ones who didn't accept the truth were still treated kindly by the neutrals, some accepted this act of kindness while others retreated to the borderlands and lived there.

The war took a heavy toll, many were lost.

It ended through a peaceful way, but you really just can't convince everybody. The majority of the unconvinced ones accepted the neutral's kind offer while some hated the neutrals to the core and have retreated, plotting their revenge against the ones who, ironically, want the best for them.

It's really a happy yet sad conclusion.

So, is it plausible/possible in real life?

"If the Christian has discovered a new means of perception, I am perfectly willing to listen to his claim, provided that he is willing to argue for his assertion...I will not limit him to five senses, but he claims to have experienced God, but refuses to explain the process by which he experienced this supernatural being. Has he discovered a new sense? Can it be tested? Can he explain, not only what he claims to know, but how he acquired this knowledge?"

For the last 15 years or so I've wanted to be accepted by the Lord and accept him into my heart.
Every night I pray that I'll be able to believe in him, but I still don't 100%. What can I do in order to believe?
I'm so scared and terrified and petrified as I know that if you don't believe in god you go to Hell and burn in perpetuity.

A client of mine invited me to his wife's birthday party at their house this Saturday night. I know my client very well, as I have seen him on a daily basis for the past couple of years. Also, we have gone to many corporate events together, such as fishing trips and golf tournaments.

His wife is in her mid forties and all I know about her is that she runs marathons and works from home. I just met her for the first time last week when we all went jogging on a Sunday morning.

My client mentioned that it is just going to me a small event with 15-20 of their close friends. What would be an appropriate gift/card to bring to her birthday party?

"....According to the Tannaïte Rabbis, MOSES therefore had ordered the Israelites to kill all women older than three years and a day, because they were [virgins and] "suitable for having sexual relations." [138]...."

Under God's direction, Moses' army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males, but take the women and children captive as sex slaves. When Moses learns that they left some alive, he angrily says: "Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the female children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." So they went back and did as Moses instructed, killing everyone except for the virgins. In this way they got 32,000 virgins . ----(Numbers 31:1-54)

"While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was discovered gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who caught him at it brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly. But they kept him in custody, for there was no clear decision as to what should be done with him.

Then the Lord said to Moses, "This man shall be put to death; let the whole community stone him outside the camp."

So the whole community led him outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had commanded Moses." Numbers 15:32-36 NAB

As recent scholarship has shown, both Protestants and secularists, from the sixteenth century to the present, have wildly exaggerated the evils of the Inquisition in order to further their own ends, creating straw demons of Inquisitors and popes alike. Sadly, these errors have been repeated so often that they have become “facts.”
Although such exaggerations have made “facts” from fiction, there is some truth about abuses that Catholics must admit. Unrepentant men found guilty of heresy were handed over to the State for punishment, even though Church authorities did not always agree with the punishments inflicted. We must realize that in handing over the condemned heretic to the secular power, the Church knowingly was handing over the condemned for punishments ranging from imprisonment to burning at the stake.
